A graduate of The University of Florida, Victor is Senior Graphic Designer for Tupperware and full-time painter. “Florida Vacation” became part of Orlando International Airport Public Art Project in 2000. Victor’s painting was turned into an 88ft x 15ft mosaic masterpiece welcoming visitors to Orlando. His work is featured on the cover of “Picturing Florida—From the First Coast to the Space Coast”. His painting was selected for the Winter Park Sidewalk Art Festival poster in 1995.
